Larry has Down syndrome and some of the typical delays that are common with his diagnosis. He is not yet walking independently, though his report indicates it is because he refuses to practice when he doesn’t want to! He plays with toys and enjoys the ones that play with music. When the staff attempts to work with him on fine motor skills, once he realizes it is ‘work”, he refuses to comply. He is not yet using words, but he IS communicating through non-verbal means. He needs a family that will bring him home and teach him appropriate communication skills and work with him on that all too common “Down syndrome stubborn streak” to help him continue to develop new skills.

The agency’s team visited Levron for the third time in April. We glanced at this paperwork then looked a little closer. It was his 3rd birthday! So we sang, and Levron got 2 packages of fruit snacks rather than the standard 1 package per child.

My favorite memory of Levron from the April trip is how much he loved looking at himself in the mirror! He looked and giggled and kissed himself then looked at himself again. It was just too adorable! Another thing that brought peals of laughter from him was playing peek-a-boo! And his laugh is so cute! We couldn’t help laughing with him!

Levron was sooooo close to walking when we met him! He stacked cups for us and really loved looking at books. He babbles but isn’t saying words yet.

Down syndrome and missing fingers on left hand

From a family who met him: “Sweet Olivier! I had so much fun with him when I was in his orphanage and am saddened that his family hasn’t found him yet. This little guy was just incredible!!! Oliver was born in March of 2011 and completely stole my heart. This little boy has Down Syndrome and a partial left hand. As the mother of a child with a similar limb difference I can tell you missing a few fingers isn’t going to slow Oliver down at all! Just by spending a few hours with him I got the feeling he is a very bright and curious little boy. He even tried to imitate me speaking English by repeating the word “book.” You can see for yourself by clicking watching this video:http://vimeo.com/78018326

Olivier is diagnosed with down syndrome and a partial left hand. He lives in a foster family on the grounds of the orphanage and participates in the Infant and Parenting program.

He can walk, can transfer positions when squatting, he can kick the football, go upstairs and downstairs with hands held. He can build a tower of 4 blocks, can dismantle the toy and assemble it again. He is very clever and can express his needs. An orphanage project team visited with Olivier last summer.

“Wilkie can understand the directions to finish the mission.” Now there is a gift! To understand directions, follow them through and finish the mission is a strong characteristic parents long for their children to develop and incorporate. Right up front, you need to know that Wilkie is an extra special kind of boy. He not only takes care of his daily needs, he helps the other children take care of theirs and he does it with great attention to tidiness and organization. He is keen on keeping things clean! He is well liked by his peer group and capable of keeping up with them. Although his expressive language is delayed he is able to communicate his needs and have them met. He is not currently learning any sign language but from his abilities he would likely be able to learn signing quickly and effectively if given the opportunity.

Wilkie likes to help care for the younger children. He has a nurturing, energetic and cheerful personality. His large motor skills and hand/eye coordination are impressive. You can see him joyfully catch, tap, and throw a balloon in the video linked below. https://youtu.be/hrHBwBSfc50

Wilkie also participated in the agency’s camp. He is a “perfect boy” according to his orphanage. He likes to wear nice clothing and is sweet, kind and patient. Wilkie thrived on attention from his advocate and the other campers; the team was completely smitten with him. He will not meet his full potential growing up in an institution. A family needs this child as much as he needs a family.
